Riddle me this, what do you eat with your eyes?

Imagine living in a world with no stories, no storybooks, no curiosity, no dreams, no imagination, no playtime; sounds appalling, right? Well, the protagonist of this story lives in this very appalling world with her parents.

One day, something falls on her head, and unable to understand what it is, she and her mother seek guidance from the town’s encyclopedia, Mr. Reed, who informs them that it is a letter from the alphabet, most of them are quite rare, and are used to spin stories.

Our ever-so-curious Minky inquires further as to what stories are and thus begins the explanation of stories. Mr. Reed tells Minky that stories are enjoyable and wonderful things that are served on thin plates called pages, are meant to be eaten with eyes and they later fuel our dream machine called the imagination. The way the author has played around with such crucial yet common topics is marvellous, providing explanation of such vast topics in such a brief manner only confirms the skillful mastery over words of the author.

Mr. Reed is also seen describing the concept of imagination as a way to dream with eyes wide open and embarking on several mental journeys rather than physical ones. Amazed after listening to Mr. Reed’s talk, Minky decides to find all the 10,000 letters with her friend Rama and makes an attempt to scour the entire town. And the two friends are now on the journey of searching for letters.

The book’s undercurrent theme addresses the dying culture of reading books in today’s digital media-dominated age.

No Comments on Crafting Visual Stories with Zine-Making: A hands-on design workshop at the TonsBridge Residential School

Art is everywhere, and each one of us is an artist. So, imagine what the world would be like if more children were allowed to bring out their inner artist—what if they could tell a story through visuals? At TonsBridge Residential School, students tapped into their creativity through a hands-on design workshop on Making Zines, organized under the Young Creators Program by Earthlab Club. This engaging design workshop, led by design expert Pratiksha Chauhan encouraged students to explore visual storytelling and crafting cohesive stories, sparking their curiosity and innovation. Its hard to imagine a world without visual storytelling, isn’t it? Through these hands-on activities, students in the Design Club brought their creative ideas to life.

Learning storytelling through Zine-Making in design workshop

The Zine Making Workshop was conducted by Pratiksha Chauhan, a NIFT graduate with over 11 years of experience working with international brands. This hands-on design workshop introduced students to the fascinating art of zine-making. Now, before you ask—a zine, short for magazine, is an accessible platform for storytelling, encouraging students to create their unique visual narratives. This learning experience helped students understand the importance of visual communication and provided insights into the technicalities of creating cohesive visual stories. This workshop served as a precursor to graphic design by introducing key concepts such as layout structure, design aesthetics, and visual hierarchy to the young minds.

Students of TonsBridge Residential School explored elements like page composition, design layout, and storytelling techniques. Supported by NID’s emphasis on design as a means to develop innovation skills—skills that the NEP 2020 prioritizes for 21st-century learners—this hands-on design session encouraged students to think outside the box and write compelling narratives while experimenting with page layouts, cover designs, headers, headlines, and creative visuals. Imagine our surprise when students thought outside the box and explored themes like bridal traditions and other unique ideas as well!

Connecting Design to Real-World Skills

This hands-on design workshop aligned with Earthlab’s philosophy that design fosters innovation, in this case in storytelling, and emphasized the importance of design thinking for the students, as they learned the basics of crafting visual storytelling complement. These activities encouraged problem-solving, critical thinking, attention to detail and self-expression in the students, nurturing their creativity, narrative building, and visual communication. Workshops like these by Earthlab Club empower students to learn by doing. These zine-making activities provided TonsBridge students with a platform to create, innovate, and tell their stories visually.

From Script to Spotlight: Rhetoric and Dramatics Workshops at TonsBridge School

Post author By Anoushka Mehta
Post date March 22, 2025

There’s a storyteller in each one of us, and the entire world is our stage. Hands-on Rhetoric and Dramatics workshops for Students of TonsBridge Residential School at the Young Creators Programme by Earthlab Club focused on nurturing confidence, critical thinking, and structured argumentation in the students. The workshops were guided by Mr. M.H. Farooqui, whose career spans over three decades. He has held positions as Housemaster, Head of Department, and Theatre-in-Charge at The Doon School and currently heads the critical thinking and writing centre at The Doon School. He has significantly impacted theatre, education, and literature, leveraging theatre and creative writing for positive change.

Rhetoric Workshop

The rhetoric workshop was attended by all the junior sections, where the students were introduced to the basics of communication and storytelling. To make the stories more relatable and meaningful, students were encouraged to draw inspiration from family, friends, and real-life experiences, blending it with their imagination.

The workshop began by introducing students to key elements of a story like context, characters, structure, plot, and more. As students worked in groups to develop their own skits and scripts from prompts and scenarios given to them, they learned to understand different viewpoints, work together, and create something unique.

The stories created by the students were later developed and brought to life by the Dramatics Club participants. The Rhetoric Club workshops honed their public speaking abilities, writing, and debating skills, making them confident in self-expression and providing a fun, interactive way to explore their creativity.

A study done by the Harvard Graduate School of Education found that rhetoric programs improve students’ confidence and academic outcomes, with 50% higher engagement in students who participated in debate and public speaking.

Dramatics Workshop

Drama and theatre have been an inseparable part of human history, from ancient Greece to Sanskrit texts written eons ago, we find evidence of theatrical performances. The Dramatics Club equips students with confidence and expression through performing, scriptwriting, and directing, building essential communication skills.

A study by the Educational Theatre Association reports that students who engage in theatre activities develop emotional regulation and public speaking skills, which are a key to leadership and confidence.

Building on this, the Young Creators Programme at TonsBridge Residential School conducted theatre workshops, providing students with hands-on experience in acting, scriptwriting, and performance. As stated above, the Dramatics Club, in collaboration with the Rhetoric Club, develops and brings to life one of the scripts.

Under the guidance of Mr. M.H. Farooqui students first worked on developing a compelling narrative from the selected piece. They later learned about key elements of theatre like voice modulation, vowel and consonant clarity, mind-body control, stage presence, blocking, and stage movements, mastering the art of storytelling through physicality and expression.

As students delved into improvisation tactics, they embraced being quick on their feet to adapt accordingly. Conducted in group settings, these activities fostered a sense of teamwork, collaboration, and coordination in the students. The students performed their refined skit as a mini-production, showcasing their hard work and talent in front of other clubs. The success of this performance was a testament to the commitment and creativity of students from both the Rhetoric and Dramatics Clubs. Curated by Earthlab Club, these Rhetoric and Dramatics workshops provided students with an enriching, multifaceted experience that fostered personal growth, self-expression, team collaboration, and an appreciation for the complexities of storytelling, theatre, and performance.
